Summary: Fifty themes that show how Dante and Lady care for each other.
A/N: OK this one's a little different. I wrote the sentences so that they relate to each other. In other words, the fifty sentences make one story! This is my favourite set by far! Hope I did OK! Enjoy!

20 – Picture

He'd been staring at the old photograph of his mother when she barged into Devil May Cry.

37 – Time

She didn't look the same as when he'd first met her; however Dante found that he preferred this matured version of Lady.

22 – Mad

But by the looks of her face, for some reason he wasn't privy to yet, she was steaming mad at him.

03 – Young

'He hasn't changed a bit!' she thought to herself as she looked at the young man sitting casually at his office desk, his feet propped up on the table's surface.

09 – King

He may consider himself the King of all devil hunters, but to her Dante was still the same cocky loudmouth from before.

23 – Child

'Dante's still a spoiled brat!' she fumed as she strode to the front of his desk.

27 – Hide

Seeing Lady's ferocious expression could make lesser men want to hide, but Dante just grinned at her in greeting.

32 – Eye

"Hey, Lady, long time no see," the red-clad devil said as he looked right into her blue and brown eyes.

26 – Goodbye

How long had it been since they'd said their last goodbye to each other?

08 – Thousand

It seemed like a thousand years since he'd seen her pretty face, but it was closer to a thousand days really.

29 – Safe

Dante was just glad that she was safe after being out of touch with her for over two years.

12 – Wait

After he'd spoken he folded his hands over his stomach and waited for her to say something instead of just glaring at him.

02 – Cool

"Dante," she said frostily though her heart was still hammering in her chest.

24 – Now

"We need to talk, right now."

10 – Learn

"I'm all ears, babe," he said nonchalantly but inside he was eager to learn what had made her come back to him.

47 – Harm

"Sidon was mine to defeat but you killed him first!" she roared in anger.

40 – History

'Ah, so that's what this is about,' he thought sagely; considering her history with humans lusting after demonic powers he understood why Lady had a personal vendetta against the recently deceased Sidon.

46 – Drive

Lady still had the same righteous drive to eradicate all evil as before; he admired that and shared her resolve to do the same.

42 – Bother

"He was close to achieving his goals, Lady, and I couldn't turn a blind eye to that," he told her plainly since she was the only one he'd ever bother explaining his actions to.

39 – Torn

Hearing him speak so rationally, and just the mere sight of him, left her feeling torn.

41 – Power

Sidon and those like him sacrificed their souls and the lives of innocent victims just to attain power that went beyond human nature.

43 – God

They sought to become gods among men and none cared what atrocities they had to commit to achieve it.

33 – Never

She'd never want those type of people to succeed, but Lady still felt cheated somehow; she had promised her murdered mother that she would take care of them herself.

11 – Blur

Against Lady's will her sight began to blur as those accursed things called tears pooled in her eyes.

35 – Sudden

She hadn't perceived his movements but suddenly he was standing right in front of her.

01 – Motion

"I'm sorry. Forgive me," Dante automatically said as his arms wrapped around her form in one smooth motion.

05 – Wrong

He wasn't apologizing for killing Sidon; he was regretful for making her cry, which seemed to be the biggest sin of all.

17 – Vision

"Nevermind," she sniffed once as she willed her vision to clear.

14 – Command

After several awkward moments she managed to make her eyes listen to her mental commands and stopped crying.

15 – Hold

It was then that she realized he'd been holding her the entire time.

18 – Attention

Looking up at his face it suddenly came to her attention that they were standing very close to each other.

45 – Naked

The concern, and perhaps even love, was naked in his eyes, and the emotions touched her.

44 – Wall

She'd known Dante had been interested in her for a while but she hadn't thought much about it; actually she hadn't let herself think about it.

49 – Hunger

Lady had thought that being away from him would reduce her own longings for him as well, but being in his presence again brought out the exact same hunger as before.

16 – Need

For once she let her impulses take over and leaned her face up to him in silent need.

36 – Stop

Picking up on her cue he lowered his lips to hers slowly, always conscious to her body language to see if she wanted him to stop, which she didn't.

06 – Gentle

The kiss was gentle but affectionate, and she felt all the ardent emotions he held for her in this joining of lips.

38 – Wash

His contact left her body in a wash of tingles and soaring feelings.

34 – Sing

For the first time in a long time, both of them let their hearts sing in perfect contentment.

31 – Book

After a minute/eternity they parted and Dante thought this kiss would go down as his best ever in his history book.

07 – One

"I said I'd help you, didn't I?" he reminded her of that one promise he'd made to her so long ago.

21 – Fool

"Yeah, you did," Lady admitted, feeling foolish for blowing up at him when he'd only been doing his job.

30 – Ghost

"So we're good again?" he asked, a ghost of a smirk on his lips.

25 – Shadow

"We are," she nodded, her previous anger only a shadow of its former self.

13 – Change

"Great!" he smiled, glad that things were back to normal though something important had changed.

48 – Precious

He'd gotten his precious Lady back, but even better, she was giving him the chance to win her love now too.

50 – Believe

There was no doubt in his mind that winning her heart would be challenging, but he believed that he could do it.

19 – Soul

That was something his soul was telling him loud and clear.

28 – Fortune

Elated at his change in fortune, Dante went in for another kiss.

04 – Last

If his luck lasted, this kiss wouldn't be their last one.
